When Tomorrow Seems Forever
A Thousand Falling Skies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fell into pieces
Everything i wanted was washed away
I looked today in the eyes
And fell to my knees(x2)
Grey skies above
Each drop drowned my pain
But you where no longer there(x2)
Watching over me(x3)
Today my life
Fell into pieces
Everything i wanted was washed away
I looked today in the eyes
And fell to my knees(x2)
Grey skies above
Each drop drowned my pain
And i cried out to you(x2)
But you where no longer there(x2)
Watching over me
I caused you to run from my me
I caused you to run from my arms
Now all i can do
Is remember
Before things went wrong
When my heart first skipped a beat
And i saw you in my life
Forever (x6)
When i wake up tomorrow
I'll spend another day without you
And so on and so forth
Everyday will seem forever
The song "When Tomorrow Seems Forever" by A Thousand Falling Skies is a heartfelt ballad about loss and regret. The song begins with the singer expressing the crushing feeling of everything they've ever wanted slipping away from them, leaving them on their knees in despair. The use of rain as a metaphor for their pain draws a clear image of the singer's grief. In the chorus, the singer cries out to someone they've lost, hoping for their comfort, only to realize that they're no longer there. The repetition of the phrase "watching over me" creates a haunting feeling of loneliness and isolation.
In the second verse, the singer takes responsibility for driving this person away. They long for the time before it all fell apart and remember the early days of the relationship when they were happy. The song ends with the singer lamenting the fact that they'll have to wake up tomorrow and every day after that without this person, making every day seem like an eternity.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the pain of lost love and the deep sense of regret that can accompany it.
